Featured! And a very happy birthday {Charleston wedding and family photographer}

Good afternoon!
First things first, I am so pleased to announce that Karmen and Nazar’s wonderful wedding was featured on The Wedding Row Friday!
Here’s the link: http://theweddingrow.com/karmen-nazar-the-wentworth-mansion/
I loved their wedding so much. Not only because they were really fun and awesome, and got married at the Wentworth Mansion, which is one of my favorite venues, but because Karmen was a DIY bride who really personalized her wedding and a lot of the details. I feel like her wedding had such an individual flair.
And secondly, it was my son’s birthday yesterday! He’s 9.
This kid is so funny and articulate and smart and quirky and BIG! He was born 9 weeks early, and we thought he might be small, but no. He’s tall. Long. Lanky. Solid. We can wear the same shoes. Last summer we bought him a new pair of Rainbow flip flops and I co-opted them.
He likes that messy, skater-y, floppity, Lowcountry hair. Me, I’m more a fan of tidy, preppy, suburban hair. But I try to meet him in the middle.
C.R. has overcome several health issues over his 9 years, and I really admire his ability to own who he is and keep on keepin’ on.

Jessie and Sean’s College of Charleston wedding {Charleston wedding photographer}

Jessie and Sean’s wedding was such a laid-back blast.
Every wedding I’ve ever photographed or attended has had some sort of issue or mini-crisis. Someone’s stuck in traffic, someone doesn’t get along, or the singer belts out the first sentence of the wrong song (ahem-that may have been my own wedding), or a member of the wedding party started drinking straight Scotch at 8:47 am…
Etc.
These little things are expected, and once a little time has passed, often become some of the most charming and retold memories of the big day.
Jessie and Sean, though, will have to settle for telling their grandchildren that their wedding was Easy Like Sunday Morning.
Because as far as I know, it was.
Staff snuck into the back of the first look images. 
The dance floor was especially rockin’. The DJ told me it was the first time he’d played “Moves Like Jagger” at a wedding, to see how it went over. Like every other song, it got an enthusiastic response.
It *was* pretty chilly, but a smart girl always makes do in a pinch.
And then they were off, and their beloved guests threw rice. No, I’m totally kidding. Of course they threw sunflower seeds!

A frame for a chilly morning. We lucked out with 70 degree weather on this mid-December day.

Folly Beach Girls’ weekend {Charleston beach photographer}

Tammy and all the women in her family meet up once a year for a no boys, no kids allowed vacation. Spending a mere hour or so with them, I could see their collective bond, and their loving, vivacious, goofy zest for life.
The wind was a bit of a problem, but it did create some adorable candids.

I have several weddings and sessions that I need to blog in their entirety. For more frequent image uploads, please check my facebook page as well. The link is up there ^. Thanks!
In the meantime, I am loving this set of shots; the way the birdseed is suspended in mid-air in the first frame…
Impact!

Jessie’e bridals at College of Charleston {Charleston wedding photographer}

Didn’t Jessie have the greatest dress ever? Seriously, the best. It had this casual luxurious vibe that suited her so well and was so different. And it had *pockets*!
The dress is Amsale, from White on Daniel Island.
Jessie’s necklace and earrings were worn in honor of her grandmother.
This was the first bridal session I’ve ever done. All my other couples have opted for an engagement session instead, so I was really excited about being able to focus on the girl in the white dress. After we experimented with traditional poses and looks, we had some fun with it.

Now up: Getting hitched and a party!
Michael Smallwood, looking quite at home backstage. In addition to being an actor, playwright and director, he’s also a talented writer/reviewer for the Charleston City Paper. Archive search his name; it’s good stuff.
The flower girl threw ticket stubs from a popcorn container. Adorable.
They were married by College of Charleston theater professor Joy Vandervort-Cobb.
Handfasting.
Yay!
Several of their engagement images were enlarged and made into movie posters. I love the way this one turned out. They decided to get married as they were walking out of the theater after seeing Away We Go .
Such an eminently quotable, iconic movie. (“Lloyd, Lloyd all null and void!”)
Just beautiful.
Enter Ronald.
I just love this. Shortly after this, my husband and assistant found Michael’s grandmother in the lounge, with her feet kicked up, watching BBC news. He joined her for a few minutes before I busted him.
It’s that time! On to the afterparty. I was so impressed with their wedding party and friends. They all buzzed around and had the whole reception venue cleaned and packed away in maybe 10-15 minutes. Maybe it’s all that practice switching up sets and clothing between acts.

It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights-
I don’t usually split weddings into multiple posts. But Jillian and Michael’s wedding at the Emmett Robinson Theater was such a shootfest; seriously, backstage alone was a separate quirky, random world just begging to be documented. I prefer short-ish blog posts with an emphasis on the people. But there’s so much I want to share about this wedding, so this is part one:
I love this. It reminds me of the slumber party scene in Grease.
One of the girls saw me unwrapping these and thought they were mine. Nope- I wish I could shoot a wedding in non-sensible shoes! Jillian was the one rocking the purple fabulousness.
“No, I really am a D. Look at my bra-it’s in the bag over there.”
